Droz Is Paralyzed

During the SmackDown taping on Oct. 5, 1999, Droz, wrestling under the ring name of Puke, was wrestling a match against D'Lo Brown. Brown was going to execute one of his signature moves, a running power-bomb.

During the move, D'Lo slipped on some type of drink that was thrown into the ring. Puke was dropped on his head, breaking two bones in his neck.

Droz admits that he failed to leap properly into the move and the shirt he was wearing was too loose.

D'Lo never had a firm grasp on him.

Droz was immediately taken to the hospital where he underwent hours of surgery to reduce swelling in his spine.
